Game Design Internship

Over the course of 6 months, learn all about making adventures at an award-winning design studio working on groundbreaking projects.

Who are we?

Sherlocked is the multi award-winning experience design studio behind some of the world's most lauded escape rooms, home mysteries, and immersive adventures. Our mission: make the world more magical.

Join our Escape Room & Live Game Design Team in Amsterdam

We’re looking for someone driven and passionate about:

• ✨ Escape rooms & live games
• 💡 Creating original, interactive experiences
• 🛠️ Prototyping — both digital and physical

What we offer:

• ✨ A talented and friendly team, including two of the most experienced escape room designers in the world ;)
• 🏡 A great work environment in Amsterdam, with the flexibility to work partly from home
• 🎨 Exciting projects to dive into, like escape rooms, city games, and even a masquerade ball
• 💸 Paid internship + travel expenses covered + fun perks (such as playing escape rooms with the team!)
• Work you can be proud of, guaranteed (we only hire you if we believe we can guarantee this)
• An awesome internship and rich variety of projects (we can't promise you'll get to help stage a multi-day immersive Hogwarts adventure in a 13th century castle, but it wouldn't be the first time)
• A team of creative, driven and can-do colleagues
• €450 internship compensation per month, plus travel costs
• Many opt-in team events like playing escape rooms together, game nights, and other surprise experiences
• An office space in central Amsterdam, combined with the freedom to work partly from home if you prefer that.

What you might be working on:

• 🥃 Developing our magical cocktails experience
• 🦁 Collaborating with Artis Zoo on a possible treasure hunt or escape room woven through the zoo itself
• 🚪 Tweaking a large-group escape game for up to 25 players
• 🎭 Helping design the Masquerade Ball we’ll host in Amsterdam later in the year, packed with mysterious mini quests

Interested? Come help us craft unforgettable adventures — and have a lot of fun along the way.

A sample from some of our past work:

• Our new flagship adventure The Alchemist (which keeps winning awards!)
• An immersive adventure in the Rijksmuseum
• A massive immersive experience to get kids interested in tech
• A 6-week puzzle contest played by thousands across the world
• An online escape game on a tropical island and the moon
• A hotel escape room in collaboration with Zoku

Our office is located in this historic building from 1603 in the very heart of Amsterdam.

For international students: we can try to help with housing, as this can be quite challenging in Amsterdam. No guarantees of course, this remains your responsibility.
